Iran threatens Israel with retaliation - but the options are limited. Experts say Iran may be forced to act this time, but warn that Tehran could fall into a trap.
A broader war with Israel involving Iran could draw Western nations to Israel's side at a time when Israel is becoming increasingly isolated on the world stage because of its behavior in Gaza. The Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian blamed the US for the attack. He also summoned the Swiss envoy. Since Washington does not have a diplomatic mission in Iran, the Swiss head of mission acts as the US representative in Tehran.
